Publication Chylolymphatic Cyst - Presenting as Acute Intestinal Obstruction – A Case Report(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2022) Arora, Sunita; Kaur, Taranjeet; Rana, Harwinder SinghAbstract: Chylolymphatic cyst is one of the rare variants of mesenteric cysts. These cysts are present within mesentery and contain chylous or lymphatic fluid. Chylolymphatic cysts are rare in paediatric age group. We present a case of a four years old boy who presented with features of acute intestinal obstruction. CECT abdomen revealed a hypodense cystic mass in the peritoneal cavity. Exploratory laparotomy of the abdomen revealed a solitary cyst measuring 10.7 cm x 9.4 cm x 10.5 cm which was adherent to the loops of small intestine and right kidney. Complete excision of cyst along with resection of the adjacent gut and end to end anastomosis was done. Histopathology of the excised cyst was suggestive of chylolymphatic cyst. It has been highlighted that chylolymphatic cyst can be a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in children.Publication Congenital Chylothorax as a Cause of Non Immune Hydrops: A Case Report(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2022) Arora, Sunita; Narang, Gursharn Singh; Kaur, Anmol; Kaur, TaranjeetAbstract: Chylothorax is a rare cause of non immune hydrops fetalis & presents with respiratory distress at birth. We present a late preterm diagnosed antenatally as hydrops with chylothorax with bilateral pleural effusion and respiratory distress at birth requiring mechanical ventilation. Baby was managed successfully with intercostal drainage, octreotide infusion & MCT milk formula.Publication Isoniazid Induced Psychosis: A Case Report Authors(Nepal Paediatric Society (JNPS), 2019) Kaur, Taranjeet; Kaur, Kanwalpreet; Malhotra, PreetiAbstract: Psychosis is a state of altered behaviour and mentation and it is not common in children. Isoniazid is a commonly used drug in the treatment and prophylaxis of tuberculosis. It may cause psychosis if overdosed but rarely with usual recommended doses. We report a case of drug induced psychosis secondary to isoniazid intake in a seven years old boy, who exhibited psychotic features about 10 days after the commencement of anti-TB combination drugs (Directly Observed Treatment Shortcourse) containing Isoniazid. This patient had no past medical or family history of mental illness. Drug induced psychosis was a possibility, and the responsible drug (isoniazid) was stopped. He improved following the withdrawal of isoniazid. Isoniazid psychosis is a major complication as iatrogenic psychiatric complications can greatly impact the patients’ quality of life, which if recognised early can be effectively treated.
